We prove that every finitely generated, residually finite group $G$ embeds into a finitely generated perfect branch group $\Gamma$ such that many properties of $G$ are preserved under this embedding. Among those are the properties of being…
Given a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, we study the space ${\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb Q\mathbb U})$ of all actions of $\Gamma$ by isometries of the rational Urysohn metric space ${\mathbb Q\mathbb U}$, where ${\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb…
We investigate extensions of S. Solecki's theorem on closing off finite partial isometries of metric spaces \cite{solecki1} and obtain the following exact equivalence: any action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ by isometries of a metric space…
Let $\Gamma$ be a centerless irreducible higher rank arithmetic lattice in characteristic zero. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is either non-uniform or is uniform of orthogonal type and dimension at least 9, then $\Gamma$ is bi-interpretable…
Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…
In this two part work we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma < \text{Out}(F_n)$, either $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian or $H^2_b(\Gamma;\mathbb{R})$ contains an embedding of $\ell^1$. The method uses actions on…
Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…
The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…
We establish lower bounds for the $p$-divisibility of the quantity $\#\operatorname{Hom}(G,GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q))$, the number of homomorphisms from $G$ to a general linear group, where $G$ is an Abelian $p$-group. This is in analogy to the…
In a recent paper of the first author and I. M. Isaacs it was shown that if m = m(G) is the maximal order of an abelian subgroup of the finite group G, then |G| divides m! ([AI18, Thm. 5.2]). The purpose of this brief note is to improve on…
We introduce a quantitative notion of lawlessness for finitely generated groups, encoded by the "lawlessness growth function" $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma} : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$. We show that $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma}$ is bounded iff…
Semistability at infinity is an asymptotic property of finitely presented groups that is needed in order to effectively define the fundamental group at infinity for a 1-ended group. It is an open problem whether or not all finitely…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $\Gamma$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We show that if the number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements in $G$ is larger than $5/8$ times the $\pi$-part of $|G|$ then $G$ possesses an abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroup which…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion-free group. We show that the statement of $\Gamma$ being virtually abelian is equivalent to the statement that the $*$-regular closure of the group ring $\mathbb{C}[\Gamma]$ in the algebra of…
Every infinite group $G$ of regular cardinality can be partitioned $G=A_1\cup A_2$ so that $G\neq FA_1$, $G\neq FA_2$ for every subset $F\subset G$ of cardinality $|F|<|G|$. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group $G$…
We prove that every finitely generated group $G$ discriminated by a locally quasi-convex torsion-free hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ is effectively coherent: that is, presentations for finitely generated subgroups can be computed from the…
A celebrated theorem of Marshall Hall Jr. implies that finitely generated free groups are subgroup separable and that all of their finitely generated subgroups are retracts of finite-index subgroups. We use topological techniques inspired…
Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a manifold modeled on three dimensional Sol geometry. We prove that $\Gamma$ has a finite index subgroup $G$ which has a rational growth series with respect to a natural generating set. We do this by…
